“Rostov’s newcomers do not show the kind of game that could attract young guys” – Balakhnin

Former head coach of Rostov Sergei Balakhnin named the reasons for the unsuccessful performance of the Don club at the start of the MIR Russian Premier League (RPL) season.

Rostov, under the leadership of Valery Karpin, scored nine points in nine MIR RPL matches and is in 11th place in the standings.

— Indirectly, the coach will always be to blame for the team’s results. He’s doing something wrong. But this is not the only reason for Rostov’s results. The team’s newcomers do not show the kind of play that could attract the young guys. Plus, young guys cannot always be stable.

They spent that season quite well, but this season they lowered their demands on themselves. They don’t have the same enthusiasm anymore. The opponents also adapted to Rostov’s game ideas. The team has not changed – they played the same way that year and continue to do so. The situation with injuries also complicates the situation,” the Championship quotes Balakhnin.

Rostov will host Ural Yekaterinburg in the next round of the RPL on Friday. The live broadcast on the MATCH PREMIER channel, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru starts at 18:55 Moscow time.
